Main Items of MEXT's FY2004 Student Exchange Budget ……………43 2 The Objectives of Student Exchange As we are now in the 21st century, expectations are growing concerning the role Japan should play on the 1 international stage. It is extremely important that Japan promote mutual understanding through international exchange and public relations activities in various fields, and establish friendly relationships with foreign countries based on mutual trust. This is vital because the existence and prosperity of Japan greatly depend on the maintenance and development of harmonious relationships with foreign countries. Furthermore, human capacity building is indispensable for the development of each country and society. Assisting developing countries in terms of human resource development is becoming more and more important today. The student exchange is a way of making an intellectual international contribution through the education and 2 training of human resources and related projects, playing an important role in the realization of a society open to the international community, one of Japan's ultimate objectives. Besides, the formation of the human network connecting foreign countries and Japan and the resultant improvement in mutual understanding and friendship are expected to contribute to the security and peace of the world, currently undergoing a process of rapid globalization. Furthermore, it is extremely important to broaden the range of student exchange activities promoting greater intellectual exchange with foreign countries, leading to enhanced internationalization of Japanese universities and increased international competitiveness. Therefore, the Ministry of Education, Culture Sports, Science and Technology is actively implementing various comprehensive programs concerning student exchange. 3 I Development of Student Exchange Policy 1 Development of new policies for international student exchanges The MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture Sports, Science and exchange policy: Technology) has worked to improve various measures to take 1) Promotion of overseas study by Japanese citizens with more care of foreign students from before their arrival in Japan until emphasis on mutual exchange than acceptance; after their return to their home countries, based on the "Plan to 2) Improvement in the foreign student acceptance system and Accept 100,000 Foreign Students," prepared in 1983 with the securing of higher quality foreign students; purpose of accepting that many foreign students in the early 21st and century. 3) Strengthening of the support system, including the Under these circumstances, it became quite likely that the establishment of the Japan Student Services Organization. number of foreign students accepted would exceed 100,000 in Specific measures suggested in the above report include: 2003. Besides, there has been a growing concern over 1) Establishment of a long-term study abroad program and a decreased quality due to a rapid increase in the number of scholarship loan program for Japanese students with the foreign students accepted. In order to respond to the above potential to earn degrees in overseas universities; situation, the Foreign Student Section of the Subdivision on and Universities of Central Council for Education (Chairman: Takeshi 2) Reinforcement of bases for ensuring improved provision of Kimura, President of National Institution for Academic Degrees information and consultation operating in foreign countries.

According to the report, it is expected that the number of students will increase by around 30,000 over five years and the In future, the MEXT is to improve specific measures based on following items are required as the basics of the new student the report. 2 Acceptance of foreign students in major countries International exchanges have increased to the point where steadily, the percentage of foreign students among the total more than 1.6 million students around the world are now enrolled students in institutions for higher education in Japan is studying abroad.

  • The Issue of Diversity and Multiculturalism in Japan
    Jie Qi & Sheng Ping Zhang The Issue of Diversity and Multiculturalism in Japan THE ISSUE OF DIVERSITY AND MULTICULTURALISM IN JAPAN Jie Qi Utsunomiya University, Japan Sheng Ping Zhang Meijo University, Japan Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association March 24-29, 2008 New York In Session: Internationalization and Globalization in the Curriculum 1 Jie Qi & Sheng Ping Zhang The Issue of Diversity and Multiculturalism in Japan THE ISSUE OF DIVERSITY AND MULTICULTYRALISM IN JAPAN The purpose of this paper is to problematize that which has been taken for granted about the notion of multiculturalism in Japan. Multiculturalism is a novel issue in Japan. As the Japanese government started to promote “internationalization” since 1980’s, slogans such as “international exchange,” “cultural exchange,” “understanding of other cultures,” etc, have become the most popular hackneyed expressions among policy maker and educators. This paper demonstrates that the notion of multiculturalism in Japan is intricately and deeply embedded in Japanese society, Japanese culture and the Japanese educational system and that this type of multiculturalism excludes ethnic groups which have lived in Japan since old times. Firstly, the intention in this study is to interrupt the assumptions about homogeneous nation in Japanese educational discourse as have been accepted since the end of World War II. I assert that Japan is not homogeneous nation rather a society with diverse cultural groups. Secondly, this paper traces the path of the past notion of multiculturalism as embodied in the Japanese political, social and cultural conditions. In undertaking this I first look at the way cultural studies emerged in the 1980’s which created a new image of cultural studies.

The first chapter provides a brief history of Japan’s consumer-oriented society, beginning with the Meiji Restoration and continuing to the 21st Century. A literature review of critical works on Murakami’s fiction, especially those on themes of identity and consumerism, makes up the second chapter. Finally, the third chapter introduces three of Murakami Haruki’s short stories. These short stories, though taken from three different periods of Murakami’s career, can be taken together to show a legacy of critiquing Japan’s consumer-oriented society. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my committee, Dr. Maggie Childs and Dr. Ayako Mizumura, for their guidance and support throughout my Master's degree process.
